2018 Spotlight campaign closing event

Fossil Free SA has for some time been running a petition campaignon social media and on the ground to persuade SA’s top asset managers and owners – Allan Gray, Coronation, Investec, Old Mutual, Sanlam and the Government Employees’ Pension Fund – to offer fossil fuel-free funds.

We’re holding an evening drinks event on Thursday 4 October to mark the close of this phase of our campaign, and you are warmly invited to attend.

The event will be attended by, we hope, and amongst others, representatives of the companies addressed by the petition as well as representatives of institutions that have divested or are considering divestment.

We are a network of South Africans calling for divestment from fossil fuels – and restorative reinvestment in sustainable energy – to stigmatise fossil fuel use, accelerate sustainable system change, help slow climate change, reduce the financial risks of fossil fuel investments, and so help secure our human rights and common future.
